Tummy Tucks for Men
Tweet
Dear Charlie:
I’ve read a lot about the benefits of tummy tuck for women in Los Angeles, especially if they’ve had children. Aren’t men are good candidates for tummy tuck too?
Thanks Charlie!
Amy
Dear Amy,
Yes, men definitely can be good candidates for tummy tucks!
We hear a lot about tummy tucks for women because pregnancy (obviously) can leave women with extra fat and skin around the tummy area and loose abdominal muscles, which is what a tummy tuck is designed to correct. But pregnancy is not the only life change that can leave a person needing a little midsection cosmetic correction.
Men and women who have achieved significant weight loss are often good candidates for a tummy tuck. For men and women who are significantly overweight, weight loss can mean the beginning of a healthier, more active lifestyle, but weight loss tends to leave behind excess skin that can only be removed surgically. There are a number of procedures available to help post-weight loss patients get rid of extra skin from various parts of their bodies – a tummy tuck targets the skin and loose muscles around the stomach area. In some cases, post-weight loss patients combine a tummy tuck with other procedures like liposuction around the abdominal area to deliver more comprehensive results.
In short, Amy, anyone – man or woman – who wants a flatter, more toned tummy is potentially a good candidate for tummy tuck in Los Angeles. If you or someone you know is considering a body contouring procedure, my best advice would be to schedule a consultation with an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon who can help you choose the procedure that is best for you!
Hugs,
Charlie
